INTERNATIONAL WINTER SCHOOL ON BIG DATA

BigDat 2015

Tarragona, Spain

January 26-30, 2015

Organized by
Rovira i Virgili University

http://grammars.grlmc.com/bigdat2015/

*****************************************************

--- 1st registration deadline: June 23, 2014 ---

*****************************************************

AIM:

BigDat 2015 is a research training event for graduates and postgraduates in
the first steps of their academic career. It aims at updating them about the
most recent developments in the fast developing area of big data, which
covers a large spectrum of current exciting research, development and
innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific
discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself.
Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views
with the audience.

All big data subareas will be displayed, namely: foundations,
infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and
applications. Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of big
data will be identified through 5 keynote lectures and 23 six-hour courses,
which will tackle the most lively and promising topics. The organizers
believe outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated
students. Interaction will be a main component of the event.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal
pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will be
differences in the course levels, specific knowledge background may be
required for some of them.

BigDat 2015 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. They will
surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers,
industry leaders and innovators.

REGIME:

In addition to keynotes, 3 courses will run in parallel during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.

VENUE:

BigDat 2015 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:

ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks
co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014
7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA

www.acm-chants.org/14


Supported by the FP7 EU MOTO project

______________________________________________________________________


******* DEADLINE EXTENSION *******
******* Papers registration: June 11th *******
******* Papers submission: June 15th *******


SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
__________________

Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired,
but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively.
Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous
mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional
examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and
wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas,
and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found
applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived,
such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications,
traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing,
opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to
challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting,
for example, findings in the area of social networking.
The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as
WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will
further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions.

This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops,
and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics
of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers
and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos,
in the following topics:

- Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs)
- Opportunistic communication and computing
- Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems
for challenged networks
- Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols
- Network Coding in Challenged Networks
- Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks
- Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks
- Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages
of development or use
- Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios
(e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use
(e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing,
sensor networks)
- Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks
- Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments
- Network science methods for challenged networks
- Mobile data offloading via challenged networks
- Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems
- Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks
- Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud
- Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing

Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship
to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research.
We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been
an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be
encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical
to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable.


PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
________________________________________

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being
currently under review by another conference or journal.
Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to
the standard ACM conference proceedings format.
Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer
than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements
(the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).
Papers will be reviewed single blind.
Please follow the submission link at: http://www.acm-chants.org


EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS
_____________________

Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for
possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier),
in a special section on Challenged Networks.
